Will we be able to root our devices?

A Look at Marshmallow Root & Verity Complications - XDA Forums

A little concerning for me, without root I may as well own an Iphone.

Shouldn't be a problem since the bootloader can be unlocked.

I used to root and install custom roms a lot, but haven't done it in awhile. This may sound strange, but when I rooted and installed roms, all I wanted was a battery percentage showing, and to be able to have a different lockscreen homepage. Being able to center the clock was fun but not a must. I know there are apps for these but it not the same. AOKP was my favorite Rom but they haven't really been keeping up lately, at least not with the devices I've been using.

I really want to use Android pay also. If a workaround come about like they mentioned I may try it, but I most-likely won't be unlocking my bootloader and rooting this time.

It's been a while since I've ran stock Android, can you still not get a battery percentage in the notification bar without rooting?

Ah, an app. Well that's good that there's a way. It's too bad it's yet to be baked in.

I'm not sure if it is. I haven't had stock Android in a while. I used an app, if not this one, to do it then. Android has came a long way. I believe the setting for it is turned off by default for some reason.

I plan to stay stock and unrooted/unlocked boot loader for as long as I can. With no carrier bloatware on Nexus, that removes one of the reasons I used to root/custom ROM on other older Android devices. Like qnet, I also plan to use Android Pay. If root "disables" or impedes the ability to use Android Pay, then another reason for me not to root/custom ROM.

Oh thank god. This is fantastic. This would be really one of the only reasons now a days I would have to root and ROM and now it comes on stock android. You made my day with this, thanks!

EDIT: What about that blasted NFC Icon?
EDIT 2: NVM. This isnt a stock android thing I guess? God I've been out of the loop for too long.

NFC icon dont show on stock Android and with the new system UI tuner you can pretty much remove any icons you dont need on the phone

But the ui tuner is in the dev previews. Is it also in the final build too? I haven't gotten around to sideloading the final software onto my nexus 5 yet, but I did have it on the dev 3 build. So just curious if it actually made it to marshmallow.

Yes it is. I flashed the factory image on my Nexus 6 and it's on there.

Saaaaaweeeet! That's definitely good to hear.

I don't see why not! The first thing I'm doing is rooting my phone. I don't feel the need for roms any more. With apps like xposed I'm pretty much set.

Thank you, but that only does the same thing that the battery percentage enabler app does, which is put the percentage inside the icon. It's too hard to see for me atleast, and I'd rather have it next to the icon like on the Note 5 or Iphone.

I have the 6.0 update on my nexus 9 but can't find it in developer settings. Maybe it's just on the phones.

Could be, I don't have a tablet to test it with.
